Dave Nonis speaks after firing, changes Canucks will make, renewed life in Edmonton, Flames round 2 matchup, Jets continue to roll out playoff injury list, more 2015 draft coverage, a classic playoff tilt and more in this week's Roundup brought to you by Draftkings.

With their season far behind them now, the Leafs' and their management are looking ahead to the offseason, and the 2015 draft of course is of prime focus. With much of the talk being focused on the Leafs' current spot at 4th overall, there is also another pick that could prove very important to the Leafs' rebuilding efforts.

As you probably recall, the Leafs picked up the Nashville Predators' first round selection this year in a package of a trade that sent Mike Santorelli and Cody Franson to the Tennessee-based franchise. With Nashville now out of the playoff race, the pick will now sit from 22nd-24th in the opening round of the upcoming draft.

One of the things about this Making a Case series that we’ve
been running on TLN is that it’s been a great opportunity for the writers here
to sing the praises of players we’d love to see in the Blue and White. The thing
about Provorov is that I’m sure many of us are regarding him as the worst case
scenario of this bunch. While he’s certainly not my first choice, or second, or
third, or fourth of this group (Friday’s prospect deserves some more
consideration than he’s been getting), hopefully I can make enough of a case
that in the event he was drafted Toronto can avoid the hysteria we experienced
when Morgan Rielly was taken over Filip Forsberg or even better, make the case
that the Leafs should move mountains to acquire a second top ten pick.

You didn't think it was going to last forever, did you? While I'm sure the Toronto Marlies would have been happy with never losing a hockey game again, the odds of that weren't exactly in their favour. Pure probability aside, the Grand Rapids Griffins are very good and not the type of team that just gets swept in the first round, regardless of opponent. This was proven tonight, as the nine game winning streak was snapped by a 5-2 defeat.
